How to render language dependent .rhtml templates?

Rails
1

I want to localize my website, and do so with minimal server load
increase. Most of the texts comes from .rhtml templates, so I figure,
if the application rendered .rhtml pages per language, it would be
more efficient than going through a database / gettext calls for every
sentence.

Any idea on how I can do that on a global site basis?

Of course, dynamically generated text will have to go through gettext
or other string replacement system.

Thanks,
Amir

Hi Isak,

That’s called hitting the nail on the head! Exactly what I was looking
for.

Thanks,
